Sure peach..whatever you want :kissy: .
posted by izad today in reply to a question on Poland..
I don't have much evidence on Poland.. basically that's what I think I heard. All I'm guessing is the teams must be from a really far place from KL for the fifth team to be so far behind the other four (if they were coming in from a much closer place/country, or if that place have lots of choices for connecting flights, I'm pretty sure the fifth team would've figured out some other flight options.. but they were at least 7-8 hours behind)

Lots of interesting places to visit in Poland besides Warsaw:
Warsaw
The Royal Castle
Old Town Market Square
St. Anna's Church
St. John's Cathedral
Monument to the Ghetto Heros
Wilanow Palace and Park
Lazienki Park and Palaces
Chopin Monument
Myslewicki Palace
The White House
Palace on the Water
Cracow
The Wawel
Royal Castle
Cathedral (Church of Pope John Paul II before moving to Rome)
"Lost Wawel" Exhibition including catacombs
Florian Gate
Main Market Square (the largest in Europe
Cloth Hall
Church of St. Mary's (the famous trumpet call from Hejnal Tower is recreated hourly)
Old Synagogue (one of the oldest in Europe 1500AD)
And nearby:
Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec
Monastery of Jasna Gora in Czestochowa
Knights Hall
Black Madonna (the most famous icon of the Catholic Faith in Poland)
Eagles' Nest Trail
Oswiecim (Auschwitz)
Wieliczka Salt Mines (really outstanding and must be visited. Opened 700 years ago and includes vast underground chambers, sculptures, and the impressive Chapel of St. Kinga with sculptures carved from salt.
Just a few of the many places that could be visited in Poland, all within driving distance of Warsaw.

Oh Gingerman--you make me want to go! I HOPE that Poland stays on our short list--but it is looking a little unclear.
IIRC, the first mention of Poland came from someone at Sucks who had a friend who reportedly saw Nancy/Emily and Derek/Drew on a plane to Germany and reported that they were going on to Poland . Clearly that spoiler can't be relied on.
The next mention was from Izad , who said that the teams arrived in Malaysia from Poland. However, he has since qualified this by posting that Poland could just be a stopover--or was it Holland? . Maybe he is pulling our legs--but Poland doesn't seem to be a sure thing at all. :'(
Does anyone remember anything else?
Izad--if you are out there--could you help us out?
Chateau d If:
I just checked Airwise for flights from Warsaw to Kuala Lumpur on December 9th. There are are no direct flights. So it could not have been a stop over.
If they did come from Warsaw then the connections would have been in Amsterdam, Paris, or Frankfurt.
georgiapeach:
Thanks Chateau!
And those connections require some pretty significant back tracking. What about through Bangkok? ???
Guess we won't know for sure till we get a promo to "spoil" but I've always thought that Mozambique to Poland to Malaysia was a weird route. There would be so many other cool places in Africa, India, and Asia that they could go to more directly.
And do we think that TPTB would have wanted to avoid Europe in favor of the more exotic?--especially since spoiler evidence seems in short supply in hindsight...
Still--Poland sounds most interesting!

We have a significant time gap between Maputo, Mozambique and Kuala Lumpur - December 2 to December 9 so the teams could very well go north to Europe (one of the five continents visited) to places like Ireland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia and Poland which have not been visited in previous TARs
